During Friday's edition of Real Time With Bill Maher, the eponymous host spoke with comic Sarah Silverman, who recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Commenting on her achievement, Silverman remarked "in a time...where anti-Semitic crime is up 57 percent since this douche bag has taken office, it is not lost on me that I am very lucky that I get a star and don't have to sew it on my clothes," a reference to the Star of David. The discussion turned to Silverman's show, I Love You, Americawhere she goes out and talks to people "who are outside of our little bubble here in Hipsterville," as Maher put it.  Maher then asked her if she was changing any minds, to which she replied "probably not. But I'm changing mine, I mean, not politically, not ideologically, but you do realize there is a difference between the liars and the lied to." Maher asked if the people she spoke to on her show realized that; to which she replied, "No, of course not. They don't know they are lied to. It's like cults. Cults don't know they're cults."
